ISLAMABAD: Member of National Assembly (MNA) Daniyal Aziz on Friday claimed that Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has approached different organisations and requested to lend some 500 armed men.

In the latest press conference of the series being pursued by different representatives of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) against PTI, Aziz said that it was warned in the past that the political organisation was in search of weapons.

Censuring the political organisation, the MNA claimed that PTI’s affiliation with jihadist outfits was not new and something that was not known before.

On the occasion, Tariq Fazal Chaudhry, Minister of State for Capital Administration and Development Division has branded Imran Khan the biggest disease for the country. He asserted rhetorically that Khan was suffering of depression over failed politics.

The government was maintaining high standards of functioning under the leadership of Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif and that Health Card Scheme initiated by the premier was ongoing successfully, he said.

Chaudhry said that Nawaz Sharif inaugurated the scheme in Rahim Yar Khan today which would benefit the impoverished.
